Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency Book

As the movement toward national standards for foreign language proficiency gains momentum, many states have already instituted their own guidelines which include oral proficiency among the requirements. Traupman's book is an excellent resource for helping teachers introduce or enhance the oral experience in the Latin classroom.

The Conversational Latin cassette is an hour long recording of the conversations from chapters 1-12 (all three levels) of the text (imperfect but acceptable recording).
